My deepest condolences to you Turnet and your family.  God bless you, and I am truly sorry.

Jesse Streeter

To the grieving family of Ellison Yolonda so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure you have read these famous words : Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the. Earth ----Matthew 5 : 5 King james version. Those who live on the earth will enjoy the benefits foretold in Revelation chapter 21 : 4. They will see our world completely change because God will do away with everything bad suffering sorrow and pain-even death.

My deepest condolences,
1 Peter 5:6, tell us to throw your anxiety on Our Loving God, for he dose not want us to hurt because he truly care for us. I pray that you find comfort in his words.

To the family,
Yolonda was truly a good friend that I will always remember.  She was one of the first people that I met when I started teaching at Dr. Phillips Elementary.  She came over to welcome me and offer her assistance in any way.  That was the beginning of a friendship that has lasted through the years.  She touched the lives of many students, parents and colleagues over the years with much love and compassion.  She will be sorely missed by each of us.

My deepest condolences to the family during this most difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who pass on are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15

Dear family, 
May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. I'll always remember that welcoming, warm, & beautiful smile of Yolanda's brightening hearts & faces of children & adults at Dr. Phillips Elementary School

My deepest sympathies to the Ellison and Grier families on your loss. For as long as I can remember, Yolonda was a dear friend and confident.  She was a kind gentle person, who always had kind words to say and brought a smile to those around her. High school, senior high and college wouldn't have been the same with her. She often told me how spoiled she thought I was, as she showed me how to change the oil in my car. My friend you will truly be missed. Rest in peace.

Paladin Henderson and Family  Houston, TX

Life's winds may blow, and storms may rage but,
Stand fast, hold your course, steady and true,
For tomorrow as promised the sun surely will rise, bright and new,
As surely as life's presence on this realm ends,
A new essence begins, shining brightly in the midst of heaven.
Yolonda, fly high, free, and shine brightly. 

Your friend,

Pal

Yolanda was an effective kindergarten teacher when I was her principal at Dr Phillips Elelentary School.  She shared her love with the children and she was well liked by her peers.

Yolonda was the most caring, gentle person who made everyone feel special.  She was always upbeat and smiling and always found the good in people.  During our time teaching kindergarten at Camelot and after I retired, Yolonda was always a ray of sunshine in my life.  She will be missed.

The entire staff at Baldwin Fairchild would like to extend their deepest sympathy during this difficult time.

My condolences to the Ellison family for the loss of your dearly loved, Yolonda. May the fond memories and happy times always warm your hearts and may you find comfort in the loving prayer with a promise found in Matthew 6:9-13 during this difficult time.

Mrs. Ellison was my daughter's kindergarten teacher and made such an impact on her life!  At the beginning of each new school year, Kenslee always made it a point to go in and hug Mrs. Ellision and to talk to her.  Mrs. Ellison also watched over my other 2 children when they were old enough to go to school-AMAZING Teacher and Mother to her 2 kids....I have missed her since she left Camelot.  She was a guardian over my family and I love that woman for what she stood for and showed all of her school kids.
Heaven has gained a Saint
